These things are slow at the best of times. Certainly nothing is going to happen before November, and if Biden is elected then nothing at all will happen. Also, if you complain right now, you open yourself up to retaliation. If Trump wins you'll probably get yours after a few years, but if he loses you're SOL. If you're going to complain at all, you'd best wait until Trump gets his second term.
There's also the possibility that Trump just forgets about it. The permanent bureaucracy is pozzed, they're not going to cooperate of their own free will. Trump can make them, but he'll have to sit on top of it. If he just tells them to stop, assumes that means they'll stop, and doesn't look into it any further, then they obviously won't stop.
Got to disagree on employees speaking out against this. Current federal policy is that this filth is banned. Speaking out against it is the right thing to do. Further, if the CDC is retaliating against employees who do so, all they are doing is creating federal whistle blower retaliation claims against themselves in court. So I say let the affected employees lawyer up and the lawsuits commence!
Edit: Forgot to clarify; The act of reporting violations of Federal Policy to their superiors is legally protected, barring some arcane mechanism inherent to federal employment I am unaware of.
Edit of Edit: Not an attorney, but work in the field. For best results, ask an attorney. The above is not to be taken as legal advice.
